The Kingdom of Coridge is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Her Grace Lola au Valli with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.76 billion Coridgeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akrojun. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Coridgean economy, worth a remarkable 2,172 trillion Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 248,007 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, black gold is looking more brown these days, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Her Grace Lola au Valli's office, and raccoons are plump and satiated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coridge's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Coridge is ranked 285,727^th in the world and 3^rd in Anegana for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
